Three days later, a long bell resounded throughout the Wuji Sect, as if the entire sect had been awakened. The mountains, rivers, dense forests, etc. were all full of life.
Among the various peaks, groups of direct disciples flew into the sky and headed towards the central square where the Wuji Grand Conference was held. Many Immortal Kings, Immortal Emperors, Immortal Lords, etc. who are rarely seen on weekdays appeared one after another. Those who had friendship in the past greeted each other in mid-air.
"Immortal King Miaolin, look at the disciples behind you who are all in high spirits. They must be preparing to show off their talents in the conference, right?"
"Wherever you are, Pingyang Peak has always been the most active in the past, but you are bound to win this time too!"
"Hey, I can't be optimistic. I heard that Junzifeng has made rapid progress in the past few years, and the two couples have been promoted to Immortal Emperor at the same time. It's coming so fiercely that we have to guard against it!"
"That's not entirely true. Don't forget that there are the Zhongzhou Immortal Emperor, Chuchen Immortal Emperor, Yuyang Immortal Emperor, and Changsheng Immortal Emperor. There are also rumors that several immortals will return to the sect this time, such as Langya Immortal Lord, Zhenwu Immortal Lord, Mountain and Sea Immortal Lord, etc.”
"I also heard that the Immortal Emperor Junzi had some conflicts with Puyang Immortal Lord because of a disciple. He did not give Puyang Immortal Lord any face, and beat the guests he invited to watch the ceremony until their muscles were broken."
"I know about this matter. It seems that Cheng Ling, a disciple of Junzi Immortal Emperor, and Qin Xiao, a disciple of Puyang Immortal Lord, fought over a female cultivator of Piaomiao Snow Sect. Alas, she is so young after all. Sheng, you can’t pass the word ‘love’!”
"Who says it's not the case? With the gentleman's temperament, the Immortal Emperor will definitely protect his shortcomings. I didn't expect that he would even offend Puyang Immortal Lord. Now there will be a good show!"
Everyone usually practices in seclusion and doesn't interact much, but they are familiar with each other. Three or five people walk together, talk and laugh, and talk about interesting things about the sect from time to time.
Cheng Ling and other disciples followed Jiang Haoyang and Mu Jinrong. They heard them talking from a distance. Mu Jinrong frowned and said, "These people are really good at gossiping. The more they spread, the more they spread!"
Cheng Ling was secretly ashamed. He never thought that the immortal kings, immortal emperors and other masters in the immortal world would chat with each other without any scruples like the people on earth in their previous lives. He said apologetically: "Master, Master, I am ashamed that I have implicated you."
Jiang Haoyang snorted coldly and said: "The pure will themselves clean up. There is no way to stop the mouth from growing on others. Just pretend that you don't hear it. Look, everyone, the atmosphere of the sect has changed during this time. It has not been so lively for a long time. .”
When everyone heard this, they quickly drew their attention back. I saw red clouds all over the sky, and the mountain peaks were shrouded in fairy mist. On the road to the square, there were towering ancient trees, which were specially transformed into colorful clouds with magic. Many rare flowers were transplanted on the roadside on both sides, and the fragrance of the flowers was intoxicating. My steps are much lighter.
Everyone walked forward and soon arrived at the central square. Immediately, some disciples came up to greet them and bowed first to Jiang Haoyang and Mu Jinrong. Immediately afterwards, he led twenty direct disciples to the designated area.
There were too many direct disciples participating in the conference. Cheng Ling's spiritual consciousness swept through and found that there were about fifty to sixty thousand. It is obviously not suitable for so many disciples to be crowded together. Therefore, the sect specially arranged many inner disciples as guides, and divided the square into small areas. Under each Immortal King's seat, there was a fixed disciple area.
Around the square, a circle of pavilion corridors was built for the peak masters and guests who came to watch the ceremony to drink tea and rest. In front of it, a high platform was built with more than a dozen seats on it. It was obviously left to the sect master and some transcendent immortals. Everything was arranged in an orderly manner, which took a lot of thought.
Cheng Ling was bored and nudged Yao Wenyuan in front of him with his elbow, and asked: "Second Senior Brother, the Wuji Festival is so lively. I wonder if I can see the Wuji Immortal Emperor."
Yao Wenyuan shook his head and said: "That's impossible. Immortal Emperor Wuji usually stays in Wuji Immortal Mansion and rarely goes out. Immortal Emperor Void is in charge of all matters in the sect. For a grand event like Wuji Grand Gala, he is bound to do it Come forward."
"Oh, so the Immortal Emperor of the Void is actually the sect master in the true sense?"
"It can be understood this way, but don't underestimate the Immortal Emperor of the Void. Although his strength cannot be compared with the four Immortal Emperors, he is still a strong man."
Cheng Ling expressed his understanding that the leader who controls the top sect will never be a simple role.
Looking at the densely packed disciples in each peak, Yao Wenyuan sighed and said: "I thought that after being promoted to Immortal Lord, it would be easier to participate in the conference, but I didn't expect that the seniors who rarely show up in the past are here, and they lead their direct disciples to compete. , our winning rate is much lower.”
Cheng Ling said: "Not many direct disciples participated in the past?"
"Yes, the number of direct disciples who participated in the previous sessions is less than half of this one at most. For some unknown reason, those seniors who have left the sect for a long time have all come back."
Cheng Ling suddenly remembered that Jiang Haoyang once said that the reward for the first place in this conference was very good, and at least he would get an immortal skill. He then said: "Maybe it has something to do with the rewards from the conference."
At this time, Jiang Chongshan, who was standing at the front, also interjected: "This is just one reason, and another reason is that the West has not been very peaceful recently. Several major forces in Zhongyuan Continent are alert and may take the initiative to attack."
"West? What's going on?"
"To put it simply, the West is often synonymous with the Buddhist side. Perhaps you have all heard that the master and the master went to the West once, and the results were heavy losses. The Buddhist philosophy of cultivation is very different from that of the mainland, and they are competing for it. Interests will cause some conflicts, but it seems to have become more intense recently."
"Zhongyuan Continent has always regarded our Wuji Sect as the orthodox one. As the leader of the continent's sects, we absolutely cannot tolerate the Buddha Sect's rampage. Therefore, this conference is for the major sects to discuss how to deal with the oppression of the Buddha Sect. , and the other is to select some elite disciples and send them directly there to compete with the Buddha Sect."
Cheng Ling suddenly realized that this was like a religious war. He never expected that such a bloody thing could happen in the fairy world. However, he has no interest in this kind of war. No matter whether he wins or loses, it has no real meaning to him.
Just as he was lost in thought, Yao Wenyuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "This is a good opportunity. Don't think that the West is a barren land. There are also rich resources for cultivation there."
"Moreover, Zhongyuan Continent is vast. The central, southern and eastern directions have basically been developed by various sect forces. Only in the western and northern parts, there are still many unknown areas, and that is the core of the origin of the fairy world."
"Oh?" Cheng Ling raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"The Immortal World was originally a whole hundreds of millions of years ago, but for some reason a huge change occurred, and the entire continent was broken into several pieces. Originally, the west was the core of the Immortal World, and it later slowly migrated to Tianyun Immortal City. as the core."
"Therefore, the western part of Zhongyuan Continent will gradually be occupied by Buddhist sects, but there are still many sect relics from ancient times. If you have the opportunity to find out, you might get some unparalleled opportunity. Like the Formation Alliance, First-class sects such as Tiandao Sect and Guangming Sect still hold on to the western barrier of the mainland."
"One is to prevent the Buddhist sect from continuing to advance eastward, and the other is that their original sect's land is in the west, but they have never been able to find it."
"That's it!" Cheng Ling nodded slowly and continued to ask: "What about the north?"
"The north is actually similar to the west, except that it is covered with ice and snow all year round and has poor resources. However, the sects still in the north are very powerful. The bitter cold natural environment has created the indomitable and perseverance of the monks there. personality."
Cheng Ling's heart sank. According to this, it would be even more difficult for him to find Yun Jingwen. Strength, in the final analysis, ultimately depends on strong strength.
Several people were chatting freely here, and an hour passed before they knew it. Almost all the disciples from all peaks in the square had arrived. At this time, as a grand bell rang, the Wuji event officially began!
On the high platform directly in front of the square, more than a dozen figures suddenly appeared, each of them imposing, at least in the realm of immortals. Behind a dozen immortals, a middle-aged man wearing a high crown stepped out of the void.
Most monks usually use flying, but the middle-aged man is completely different. He stood up straight, with his legs moving forward and back. In the void of the high platform, every step he took closer seemed to be stepping on a node in the space. The feeling of freedom and ease was beyond description in words.
Flying across the sky is fast and easy, and at the feet of the middle-aged man, it seems like there are layers of stairs, climbing down. It was obviously a void, but every step seemed to step into everyone's hearts, making people feel their hearts throbbing and a little bit at a loss.
A flash of blue flashed across Cheng Ling's eyes, and even with the ability of the Netherworld Holy Eyes to see through illusions, he could not tell what the middle-aged monk was stepping on. Not only that, even his cultivation seemed to be shrouded in fog, making it impossible to see through.
He took a breath and said: "What a wonderful artistic conception. It's like a void. People can't feel its existence at all, but they can clearly see it. Could it be that he is the Immortal Emperor of the Void?"
There is no need to answer at all, everyone's performance has already explained everything. When the middle-aged man finally walked down the void and stood on the high platform, tens of thousands of monks in the field bowed and saluted, shouting: "See the Immortal Emperor of the Void!"
Immortal Emperor of the Void nodded slightly, glanced at the square, and said: "Today is the Wuji Grand Ceremony that is held every five years. Here, I welcome all the immortal friends to come and watch the ceremony. At the same time, I also wish all my direct disciples Achieve good results in the conference.”
"Now this emperor announces that the Wuji Festival has officially begun!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen immortals standing in front of him took action at the same time. Suddenly, a layer of colorful light curtain appeared in the forbidden area behind the square. As more than a dozen immortals performed the tricks, the light curtain shone seven times in a row, covering each color once from top to bottom.
At the end, all seven colors were displayed, and the forbidden light curtain slowly opened a passage about ten feet wide from the center. The disciples standing by the passage walked in one by one under the guidance of the inner disciples.
